For example, Bellingham, Washington has been called one of the biggest party towns in the nation. And you can see why. It has a large number of college kids, a very young population, and frankly, there’s a huge bar scene.

But is it the best city to score in? The purpose of this post is to use science and data to determine which places are the easiest you could possibly go in Washington if you wanted to hook up with someone.

After analyzing 101 of the state’s most populous areas (over 10,000 people), we came up with this list as the 10 easiest places to get laid in the state of Washington:

You might be thinking, ‘Ellensburg?!’ Why haven’t I gone there before?

Well if you live in Ellensburg, you’re probably already aware of the pure excitement level, based on the criteria we list below. And if you’re not already regularly hooking up there…well, then there’s nothing we can do about that.

That’s your own personal problem.

Read on below to see how we crunched the numbers and see how the places near you fared. We’ve got the complete list of the most populous cities below so you know where to go and where to avoid on your next road trip.

How do you decide if a place in the Evergreen State is easy to get lucky in?

In order to rank the chances where you’re most likely to get laid in Washington, we had to determine what criteria helps people hook up.

So we found databases across the internet for those criteria, and it spit out the answer. Like magic.
